Trip Overview

Eat Kashgar like a local: watch fresh kebabs grilled at the morning bazaar, squat over a bowl of gangzi rou with naan at noon, sip brick tea to Uyghur tunes at a century-old teahouse in the afternoon, then dive into the night market from baked samsas to handmade ice cream. In two days, your stomach will remember more than your camera.
